All sorts

It dawned on me earlier today that I didn't have a few days to finish my page for this post, that in fact I had less than 24 hours. So not to put stress on myself I thought I would cheat a little and post some cards that were made a while ago, a Layout as well as a new card.  I apologize if you have already seen these before but sometimes it is good to revisit  and re-inspire.

A mixed bag

A card or two ......

 Hello to you all

Natalie here on this chilly Adelaide morning.

Today I am sharing five cards I recently created for an Australian scrapbooking magazine.

I LOVED creating these and incorporated a huge range of Imaginarium into each one.

 

All of the above cards are using gesso to coat the chipboard and to give a nice crisp white finish.

The below card I wanted to be a little darker so used a combination of Heidi Swapp Colour Shine and ink

Thanks for stopping by .....  but before I leave ... I'll give away some chipboard .....

I will start with a layout about me, I have to say that I never have scrapped about myself so it is a little different! I used some of the new release chipboards!!! Love those chevrons!!! They are so cool!!! All the chipboard got a coat of white gel pen.

"Moment In Time"

My second layout is about my daughter in the park with her brother pushing her on the swing, if there is one thing I enjoy it is watching them play together, love the sound of them giggling together, nothing makes me happier hence the title "Precious Moments".

"Precious Moments"

 

 Precious Moments Title was painted with cream paint

 Some buttons, covered in paper and some thread

A painted frame in the background to create dimension!

Some creative tag fun :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Well have you been as blown away as I have been with the creations from this incredible Design Team this month?! OMGoodness!!!!!! Just Wow!!

Well I am sorry to say that you guys are having to put up with me having a go at something else that is 'outside my comfort sone'. Last time I hit you with my ATC experimenting, and now its tags! for so long I have created mostly layouts. But I really want to start doing more tags. So much inspiration 'out there' and Im loving it :)

My first proper tag [sts] I created for the Prima NSD Blog Hop >>> HERE, I used some Imaginarium grey board to create the tag background and went from there.

Today I have used a small Imaginarium tag [stole it from Jane's stash while she was interstate teaching at the Brisbane Papercraft and Scrapbooking Expo] LOL :)

Im slowly getting more comfortable with the perspective needed for such a small project, [as a lover of large areas of white space] its a challenge LOL :)

Below is a step out of sorts of how I made the tag. I apologise profusely as the photos were taken with my mobile phone so quality isnt the best.

The background of the tag is first spray painted white. I then used the Tim Holtz metallic distress paint to create a painterly effect.

Using the same metallic paint I coloured the chipboard frame and feather.

When the frame was dried I cropped my photo to fit the frame, and then adhered it with double sided adhesive tape.

I started to layer up my embellishments; first beginning with a Vintage metal trinket which has been cut in half. on top of that I have artfully arranged some cotton thread.

Next I positioned and adhered the [cut in half] metallic coloured flower and chipboard feather over the metal vintage trinket and cotton thread, using adhesive foam dots.

The photo and frame was adhered to the feather using quick drying glue.

Extra metal embellishments positioned and adhered using clear drying glue.

Extra splats of colour added with chalkboard glimmer mist [I protect my photo just with a scrap of paper]

A final touch is to add some colour to the small heart shapes on the frame with the chalkboard glimmer mist.

Materials used;

Skeletal feather IDDL 0006

Tag and Frame scavenged from discard box
